From La Coruna south to Lisbon
So far the autopilot has been able to handle everything we've thrown at it. Massive seas and winds gusting to mid 40s at times. Toughest time has been when we were being swept into the Bay of Biscay 45 degrees off course. Bob called "All Stations" and Warship 023 responded with "gale force 7 for next 12 hours. We heded for Brest/Camaret with huge follwoing seas. We've done around 700nm from Cork. So much for trying to head for Lisbon! Arrived in La Coruna happy and tired, we had worked our way along the Costa da Morte without mishap. Still Cabo Finisterre to conquer, and we leave tomorrow morning. Susan has arrived and we've had a welcome drink!
